Maree4, Giovanni P. Martelli5†, Michael J. Melzer6, Wulf Menzel7, Angelantonio Minafra5, Sead Sabanadzovic8 and ICTV Report Consortium Abstract Viruses in the family Closteroviridae have a mono-, bi- or tripartite positive-sense RNA genome of 13–19 kb, and non-enveloped, filamentous particles 650–2200 nm long and 12 nm in diameter. They infect plants, mainly dicots, many of which are fruit crops. This is a summary of the ICTV Report on the family Closteroviridae, which is available at ictv. global/ report/ closteroviridae. Table 1. Characteristics of members of the family Closteroviridae Typical member: citrus tristeza virus (U16304), species Citrus tristeza virus, genus Closterovirus Virion Non- enveloped, filamentous particles 650 to 2200 nm in length and 12 nm in diameter Genome 13–19 kb of positive- sense, mono-, bi- or tripartite RNA Replication In association with endoplasmic reticulum- derived membranous vesicles and vesiculated mitochondria Translation Directly from genomic RNAs as large polyproteins or from sub- genomic mRNAs Host range Plants (mainly dicots), transmitted by aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs or soft- scale insects. No seed or pollen transmission Taxonomy Realm Riboviria, four genera, more than 50 species, some unassigned to a genus VIRION GENOME Virions are long, helically constructed filamentous particles; The genome consists of 1–3 molecules of 5′-capped, linear, positive- sense RNA that lack a 3′-terminal poly(A) or tRNA- like the primary helix has a pitch of 3.4–3.8 nm, about 10 protein structure (Fig. 2). The genome organization is conserved; the subunits per turn and a central hole of 3–4 nm (Table 1). number and relative position of open reading frames (ORFs) The coat protein (CP) and minor CP (CPm) are the most can differ. The dual- gene module ORF1a–ORF1b at the 5′-end of genomic RNA encodes replication-associated proteins with abundant virion components. CPm encapsidates the 600–700 conserved domains for a papain-like cysteine protease (l- Pro), 5′-terminal nucleotides of viral RNA (Fig. 1). The virus- methyltransferase (Met), helicase (Hel) and RNA- directed RNA encoded heat shock protein 70 homologue (HSP70h) and the polymerase (RdRP).

Molecular breeding for resistance to rhizomania in sugar beets. Doctor’s dissertation ISSN: 1652-6880, ISBN: 91-576-7255-5 Rhizomania is one of the most destructive sugar beet diseases. It is caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) vectored by the soilborne protoctist Polymyxa betae Keskin. The studies in this thesis evaluated natural and transgenic resistances to rhizomania in sugar beets. Also the genetic variability in the coat protein genes of BNYVV, Beet soil-borne virus, Beet virus Q and Beet soil-borne mosaic virus isolates was studied. Several natural sources of resistance to BNYVV are known, such as the “Holly” source with resistance gene Rz1, WB42 carrying Rz2, and WB41. We mapped the major gene called Rz3 in WB41 to a locus on chromosome 3. In hybrids with combined resistance of Rz1 and Rz3, the resistance level to BNYVV was improved as compared to plants carrying Rz1 only. Transgenic sugar beets resistant to BNYVV were produced. The resistance was based on RNA silencing. The level of resistance to BNYVV in the transgenic plants was compared to the natural sources of resistance in greenhouse experiments and in the field and found to be superior to the resistance conferred by Rz1.

  • Vectors of Beet Yellows Virus
    Transmission Efficiencies of Field-Collected Aphid (Homoptera: Aphididae) Vectors of Beet Yellows Virus MARYELLYN KIRK,' STEVEN R. TEMPLE,* CHARLES G. SUMMERS,3 AND L. T. WILSON' University of California, Davis, California 95616 J. Econ. Entomol. 84(2). 638-643 (1991) ABSTRACT Alate aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) were collected at weekly intervals in 1988 in six California sugarbeet fields-three on each side of a boundary line which separates overwintered spring harvest beet fields in Solano County from fall harvested fields in Yolo County. Alate aphids landing on a yellow board during a 45-min morning collection period were captured live and tested for ability to transmit beet yellows virus (BYV) by allowing individual aphids to feed on healthy sugarbeet seedlings immediately after capture. Test plants were evaluated for BYV infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). and aphids were preserved and later identified. Myzus persicae (Sulzer), Aphis fabae Scopoli complex, and Rhopalostphum padi (L.) were the principal aphid species which transmitted BYV. Five additional captured aphid species were found to be carrying BYV, including Macrostphum rosae (L.) and Amphorophora spp., which are reported as BYV vectors for the first time. Geographically distinct isolates of A. fake complex were collected from fields in Fresno, Monterey, Santa Barbara, Tehama and Yolo counties; M. persicae was collected from Yolo County and R. padi was collected from Fresno and Yolo counties. A laboratory colony of R. padi was also obtained from New York. All aphid collections were tested for their relative efficiency in transmitting BYV. Differential transmission ability was found among geographically isolated aphid colonies of the same species and also among the different genera.

  • 3′-Coterminal Subgenomic Rnas and Putative Cis-Acting Elements of Grapevine Leafroll-Associated Virus 3 Reveals 'Unique' F
    Jarugula et al. Virology Journal 2010, 7:180 http://www.virologyj.com/content/7/1/180 RESEARCH Open Access 3′-coterminal subgenomic RNAs and putative cis-acting elements of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 reveals ‘unique’ features of gene expression strategy in the genus Ampelovirus Sridhar Jarugula1, Siddarame Gowda2, William O Dawson2, Rayapati A Naidu1* Abstract Background: The family Closteroviridae comprises genera with monopartite genomes, Closterovirus and Ampelovirus, and with bipartite and tripartite genomes, Crinivirus. By contrast to closteroviruses in the genera Closterovirus and Crinivirus, much less is known about the molecular biology of viruses in the genus Ampelovirus, although they cause serious diseases in agriculturally important perennial crops like grapevines, pineapple, cherries and plums. Results: The gene expression and cis-acting elements of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3; genus Ampelovirus) was examined and compared to that of other members of the family Closteroviridae. Six putative 3′-coterminal subgenomic (sg) RNAs were abundantly present in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) infected with GLRaV-3. The sgRNAs for coat protein (CP), p21, p20A and p20B were confirmed using gene-specific riboprobes in Northern blot analysis. The 5′-termini of sgRNAs specific to CP, p21, p20A and p20B were mapped in the 18,498 nucleotide (nt) virus genome and their leader sequences determined to be 48, 23, 95 and 125 nt, respectively. No conserved motifs were found around the transcription start site or in the leader sequence of these sgRNAs. The predicted secondary structure analysis of sequences around the start site failed to reveal any conserved motifs among the four sgRNAs. The GLRaV-3 isolate from Washington had a 737 nt long 5′ nontranslated region (NTR) with a tandem repeat of 65 nt sequence and differed in sequence and predicted secondary structure with a South Africa isolate.

Abstract: Most plant viruses code for movement proteins (MPs) targeting plasmodesmata to enable cell-to-cell and systemic spread in infected plants. Small membrane-embedded MPs have been first identified in two viral transport gene modules, triple gene block (TGB) coding for an RNA-binding helicase TGB1 and two small hydrophobic proteins TGB2 and TGB3 and double gene block (DGB) encoding two small polypeptides representing an RNA-binding protein and a membrane protein. These findings indicated that movement gene modules composed of two or more cistrons may encode the nucleic acid-binding protein and at least one membrane-bound movement protein. The same rule was revealed for small DNA-containing plant viruses, namely, viruses belonging to genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) and the family Nanoviridae. In multi-component transport modules the nucleic acid-binding MP can be viral capsid protein(s), as in RNA-containing viruses of the families Closteroviridae and Potyviridae. However, membrane proteins are always found among MPs of these multicomponent viral transport systems.

In the SPFMV-resistant cv. Tanzania, SPFMV is also present at extremely low titers, though plants are systemically infected. However, infection with both viruses results in the development of sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) characterized by severe symptoms in leaves and stunting of the plants. Data from this study showed that SPCSV remains confined to phloem and at a similar or slightly lower titer in the SPVD-affected plants, whereas the amounts of SPFMV RNA and CP antigen increase 600-fold. SPFMV was not confined to phloem, and the movement from the inoculated leaf to the upper leaves occurred at a similar rate, regardless of whether or not the plants were infected with SPCSV.

  • Analyses of Virus/Viroid Communities in Nectarine Trees by Next
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Analyses of virus/viroid communities in nectarine trees by next-generation sequencing Received: 4 February 2019 Accepted: 9 August 2019 and insight into viral synergisms Published: xx xx xxxx implication in host disease symptoms Yunxiao Xu1, Shifang Li1,2, Chengyong Na3, Lijuan Yang1 & Meiguang Lu 1 We analyzed virus and viroid communities in fve individual trees of two nectarine cultivars with diferent disease phenotypes using next-generation sequencing technology. Diferent viral communities were found in diferent cultivars and individual trees. A total of eight viruses and one viroid in fve families were identifed in a single tree. To our knowledge, this is the frst report showing that the most-frequently identifed viral and viroid species co-infect a single individual peach tree, and is also the frst report of peach virus D infecting Prunus in China. Combining analyses of genetic variation and sRNA data for co-infecting viruses/viroid in individual trees revealed for the frst time that viral synergisms involving a few virus genera in the Betafexiviridae, Closteroviridae, and Luteoviridae families play a role in determining disease symptoms. Evolutionary analysis of one of the most dominant peach pathogens, peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd), shows that the PLMVd sequences recovered from symptomatic and asymptomatic nectarine leaves did not all cluster together, and intra-isolate divergent sequence variants co-infected individual trees. Our study provides insight into the role that mixed viral/viroid communities infecting nectarine play in host symptom development, and will be important in further studies of epidemiological features of host-pathogen interactions. Peach is one of the most widely grown fruit crops in China, and nectarine (Prunus persica cv.
